Soviets get the first strike out and take the rear flight deck out on the British destroyer. They sent a couple of Helicopters over the rigs to help discourage attacks against them and to observe the British. The British sent out a flight of Lynx's with more hostile intentions.

The quality of the British Electronic Warfare counted in the end, despite trying to overload them with a swarm of missiles, the low chance of hitting and some bad die rolls meant little damage to the British, while the return salvo of Exocet's and the Soviets poor EW and non-existent defense against sea-skimmers saw 3 ship kills and a badly damage in just the one turn.
